Objective: Design and analytically evaluate a non-reacting hypersonic test facility capable of producing Mach 6 flow while maintaining a normal shock at the channel exit. Engineering Work: Derived nozzle area ratios to achieve Mach 6 flow conditions Applied isentropic flow relations, Fanno flow wit...

Objective: Quantify the effect of countersinking on Mode I stress intensity factors (SIFs) for edge cracks emanating from fastener holes—a geometry not addressed in standard fracture mechanics handbooks. Engineering Work: Built 3D Abaqus models of straight-hole and countersunk-hole plates Modeled e...

Objective Simulate and analyze viscous–turbulent flow through a contraction–test section–diffuser wind tunnel at multiple inlet velocities. Engineering Work Created 2D CFD models using air as an ideal gas with Sutherland viscosity Simulated inlet velocities of 10 m/s and 25 m/s Generated contours o...

Objective: Compare aerodynamic performance of rectangular and tapered wings at different aspect ratios to inform low-speed aircraft design. Engineering Work: Generated NACA 2415 airfoil and four 3D wing configurations Aspect ratios: 6 and 12; taper ratios: 1.0 and 0.5 Performed angle-of-attack swee...

Objective: Design, analyze, and validate a reusable launch vehicle concept capable of return-to-launch-site recovery, with emphasis on propulsion system selection, thrust margin optimization, and ascent/descent performance. Propulsion-Focused Engineering Work: Served as Propulsion Lead, responsible...
